Outer Ear the outer ear itself consists of the pinna where this serves as a defence mechanism for the inner ear, not only does it protect the inner ear, it also protects the ear canal which then collects sound and pulls it towards the ear drum the shape of the pinna itself is shaped the way it is as it also helps detect incoming sounds coming from the vertical plane which can either come from above the ear, or below it. Middle Ear the middle ear is an air filled cavity located in the temporal area of the skull. this consists of the ear drum also known as the tympanic membrane, the ossicles and the eustachian tube. the tympanic membrane is a concave with an area between 60 ...

in todays lesson we learnt the needs of basic health and safety when In the studio or rehearing for gigs for our performance. Lifting - when lifting heavy items we learnt it is crucial to help when moving the PA system as it can most often be extremely heavy. Electrical - when it comes to electrical items, you must be careful just incase you trip over a loose cable or with amp if its a bit dodgy it may start smoking and this could possibly lead to a fire hazard. Fire Extinguishers - with fire extinguishers, it is important to know what fire extinguishers we should for the fire. a wood or cardboard fire we would use the water fire extinguishers, for the electrical fires the CO2 or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher would be best suited Equipment - if there is any faulty equipment we learnt it is crucial to report it to the available members of staff immediately as this could be the difference between an injury and stopping one from happening. PPE -the main PPE as we musicians would say is...
